My fiance and I are moving out next summer and we're taking with us the rats [of course], two of my cats, and my chihuahua. But the thing is, I will have to be home alone A LOT. I'm pretty much a big baby about being home alone. But michael has agreed to get me a large dog to make me feel safe. But that thing is, I've always had small breed dogs. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a large breed that is protective of it's owners but also sweet and not aggressive towards other animals. I know that's a lot of criteria, but I need help!
